I posted this screenshot a week ago:
Which lithy took umbrage with, and apparently festered in the back of his mind for awhile. He couldn't understand, why would black gun owners face trouble for having their guns in visible sight and protesting loudly (during a pandemic when people were ordered to stay at home, and after a time when people were ordered to wear face masks in public)?
In fact, there are instances where being black and having a gun has gotten them killed by police:

Right-wings news that used to be fringe decades ago is now front and stage. The fear of 'The Other' has been paraded since Trump became president.

Then of course there was a young black man jogging who was hunted down and murdered just because he was black and running. The murder happened in February, but because of his close connections to the police department, the killer was never charged until video of it leaked on the internet:
So there are some things white people never think about black people, because why would they? Things like how black people have to do their hair, why black people put on lotion, why black people started the BLM movement (which was never against all lives mattering, but feeling a need to state that black lives matter,
too), and why black people might be apprehensive to legally own a gun, much less have it out in public like the white protestors had.
Because the fact is is that police officers have killed black people who legally owned guns, and there are white people who kill black people simply because they're black. It's a fear.
Do I know black protestors with guns acting the exact same way, yelling right in front of cops' faces would get in trouble, or arrested, or shot? No, I don't know. But there would have been a possibility, IMO.
